The Eastern Iowa Aquarium Association

The Writers Award is a program where EIAA Club Members can earn points for Articles written by club members.

Points are awarded as follows:
1 point for each 200 words up to 5 points.
2 points for your first contribution.
2 points for not being a BAP article
1 point for each reference at the end up to 3 points.
